In ethylene, each carbon atom is bonded to three other atoms (one __________ and two __________), and there are no nonbonding electrons. Three hybrid orbitals are needed, implying __________ hybridization with bond angles of about __________ to give optimum separation of the three atoms bonded to carbon. The C-H bond length in ethylene is slightly shorter than the C-H bond in ethane because the sp2 orbital in ethylene has more __________ character (__________-__________ s) than an sp3 orbital (__________-__________ s). The __________ orbital is closer to the nucleus than the __________ orbital, contributing to shorter bonds. |
